with more than 2,000 participants
from around the world (see Figure 5).
Although the differing time zones
were an incredible challenge for all, it
did not prevent any team from fairly
competing and showing their developments
with virtual and remote robots.
The 24th RoboCup Symposium was
held virtually on 28 June 2021 with the
presentation of 19 papers reporting on
novel contributions to the robotics field,
an informative panel discussion on
building a research career through
RoboCup, some interactive sessions
with the papers' authors in Gather
Town, and a reflection on the past 25
years of RoboCup. It was organized by
Rachid Alami (Laboratory for Analysis
and Architecture of Systems-CNRS,
France), Joydeep Biswas (the University
of Texas at Austin), Maya Cakmak (University
of Washington), and Oliver Obst
(Western Sydney University, Australia).
It also comprised three invited talks
from keynote speakers: Prof. Dieter Fox,
from NVIDIA Research and the University
of Washington, with a talk called
" Toward Robust Manipulation in Complex
Environments " ; Prof. Jean-Paul
Laumond, from CNRS, with a talk on
" Robotics: The Science of Motion " ; and
Prof. Stefanie Tellex, from Brown University,
with a talk titled " Towards
Complex Language
in Partially
Observed Environments. " Unlike most
previous RoboCup events, some talks
from keynote speakers happened in
parallel with the main RoboCup event
on the main competition days.
As in previous years, papers presented
in the RoboCup Symposium
